Description
Experience the beauty of YMCA Storer Camps’ 1200 acres with an extra splash of color thrown in during our first-ever 5k Color Fun Run/Walk and 1mi Color Fun Run/Walk. Enjoy a mixed course of paved, dirt and off-road trails while you travel through the woods, down to the lake and around horse pastures. The trees might have some color remaining on them, but you’ll be even more colorful at the end of your run. Sign up to register here: https://www.ymcatoledo.org/programs/246/?locations=38...

What do you mean by Color Fun Run/Walk?
You’ve heard of those runs that have colorful powders dispersed on runners throughout? That’s what this is! Along each course will be race officials with various colored powder that will be tossed at runners along the way. If you would prefer not to have any powder tossed on you, you can move around the race officials and/or politely ask (we’re pretty nice folks).
